The only doctoral program in counselor education in the New York/New Jersey
metropolitan area, the primary objective of this Ph.D. program is to
prepare scholars and practitioners to become leaders in maximizing the mental
health and quality of life for individuals, families, communities, and
educational organizations.

Individuals with counselor education doctoral degrees work as academic faculty
in higher education and in administrative and managerial roles in health care
agencies, nonprofit organizations, community agencies, and student
affairs/academic affairs units in colleges and universities as well as in
businesses. In addition to working in such agencies and in business, holders of
Ph.D. degrees in counselor education also serve as consultants for agencies on
specific projects-for example, consultants to state departments of education
concerning guidance outreach to underserved populations.

The Montclair State University Ph.D. program in Counselor Education combines scholarly
preparation and advanced counseling and supervision practice in preparation to
pursue these and other career opportunities. Applications are being accepted
for Fall 2011 study. Review of completed
applications, including review for doctoral assistantships, will begin on or
about November 1, 2010. The final application deadline for Fall 2011 is
February 1, 2011.
